A few things you might be wondering.

Do we choose the student?
You choose the colleges and share your teen’s interests. ama.college looks for a current student who fits, and you review the proposed student and time before confirming.
What does it cost?
$49 for 1 call, $129 for 3 calls, $199 for 5 calls. Each call is a 30-minute video conversation, and nothing is recurring.
Is this college consulting?
No. Mentors give firsthand student perspective and ongoing peer support. They don’t manage applications, edit essays or advise on admissions strategy, and they work well alongside a counselor who does.
